Re: Does anyone use ROBLOX?

I'm an active ROBLOX user: http://www.roblox.com/User.aspx?ID=1663679

Sending you a friend request  tongue

ROBLOX is not really that similar to Scratch. First off it's not entirely a programming language, but also a whole MMORPG. And the programming language is not block-based, but typed. Example:

[blocks]<when green flag clicked>
<forever>
<say[ (( 1 <+> 1 ))
<end>
[/blocks]

Could be written like this in Lua:

Code:

while true do
  print(1 + 1)
end

You could, but as for the last thing, most people hate only freemodeled places because they're unoriginal.

Re: Does anyone use ROBLOX?

There has been some roblox-related spam on the Forums lately, and the word "roblox" was censored by the Scratch Team because of it. It is unbanned now, but just keep in mind that we don't want that story to repeat.  smile


http://i52.tinypic.com/5es7t0.png I know what you're thinking! "Neptune! Get rid of those filthy advertisements and give us back the Zarathustra siggy, you horrible person!" Well, don't worry about it, the Zara siggy will be back soon, new and improved! ^^ Meanwhile, just do what the sig tells you to. >.>

Re: Does anyone use ROBLOX?

If ROBLOX freezes, go open ROBLOX Studio, then click "Tools" on the toolbar (NOT the dark grey one next to Insert, if you're building), then click "Settings", pick "Accept", click "Rendering", and mess ONLY with the propierties under "Quality", lowering them down.

Once you're done, click "Close", "Accept" and restart ROBLOX (be sure to save any changes, if you've made them, unless you want to lose them).

If you still get lag with the minium settings, the place creator is a *' noob who used too many bricks (especially when they're unanchored), scripting and/or other instances.

You know how to script lua? I've been trying to find out for months. Can you teach me? I looked at the wiki but I can't follow all of it.

I'm not really the best at Lua, I'm only good at really basic stuff, such as making a weapon damage only Zombies (considering these zombies would have a humanoid named "Zombie" rather than just "Humanoid"), or changing it's damage, or changing a brick's color/transparency/size/etc.

I also have some fun on the Script Builder place by using this script on my hat:

Code:

game.Workspace.technoguyx.WhicheverHatI'mWearingNow.Handle.Mesh.Scale = vector3.new(100, 100, 100)

Re: Does anyone use ROBLOX?

<hide>Roblox-
You can kill stuff
You can wear stuff
You can post comments
No signatures (I'm sure)
Awesome game > big_smile






Scratch-
you can make your own animated game
Scripting is a bit easier*
You can put signatures
You can enjoy your own games
You don't need Builder's Club to make a lot of games


*In my opinion
